After the Uvalde shooting, even parents can't enter Buffalo schools without notice

[Demovictory9]

After a mass shooting in their hometown and a second at a Texas elementary school, the school district in Buffalo, N.Y., is barring all unannounced visitors from its buildings, including students' parents.

"Any person who wishes to enter a school MUST call ahead and obtain prior approval to enter the building," Buffalo Public Schools announced on Wednesday. "This includes parents, caregivers, siblings, and vendors; NO EXCEPTIONS will be made."



All school doors will remain locked during the school day, the district announced, and there will be an increased security presence at schools, including Buffalo Police Department officers.

"There are camera monitors at the front entrance of each of our school sites. If reporting for a scheduled meeting, ALL visitors will need to announce their name and the name of their child to be buzzed into the school," the district said. "Upon entry, visitors may be subjected to a wanding and/ or a search process for additional safety measures."

1. been this way at my niece's high school for 7 years now

parents must call ahead... go to the front gate and be met by the SRO... escorted to the office where you wait for your child to come meet you.

OTOH... after school assemblies with parents and the sporting events... nope. I mean there are police at the football games and the SRO at the concerts, etc. but everyone
streams in through open doors and unlocked gates.
